Abstract (en)

In determining for each base station in a wireless telecommunication switching system whether a wireless handset should receive audio or vibration alerting for incoming calls the wireless telecommunication switching system utilizes information specifying alerting for the base stations that is entered by a system administrator. In addition, individual users may choose to specify areas designated by the system administrator for audio alerting as vibration alerting. The information specifying the audio or vibration alerting from either the administrator or individual users is specified for different periods of time for each of the base stations. The system administrator may directly determine the alerting information for each individual base station. Also, the system administrator may determine the alerting information for different areas of the building, and as base stations are added to the wireless telecommunication system, they inherit the attributes of the area in which they are placed. <IMAGE>
